I’m far from having explored it fully, but this is magical. The use of smelling as a navigational device is brilliant, tantalizing you with bits of everything you haven’t seen yet. The structure of the conversations is fascinating too, being both sprawling and somewhat restrictive, with a surprising amount of choice in the directions they can be made to take. Everything adds up to an impressive feeling of scale and gravity, feeding the core metaphor of losing (and delaying the loss of) one’s self to great effect.

This is one of my favorite games/stories/whatever to have come out this year, and probably my favorite of the “dating” jam yet. Congratulations to the authors if they see this : )
